Headteacher John Cregg said, “I am incredibly proud of our students, who have demonstrated outstanding resilience and application to achieve these excellent results. Like all current students, these young people have had their secondary education severely disrupted by Covid-19 and faced the added challenge of a return to the pre-pandemic, tougher standards of qualifications and grade boundaries. The vast majority of our learners have achieved exactly what they need in order to begin their chosen post-16 courses and I wish them all the very best for the future.
“I would also like to thank our amazing staff who have guided these young people incredibly well throughout the last five years and have once again demonstrated the fabulous standards of education, care and support we provide here at The Radclyffe School.”
Sue Webb, Chair of Governors said, “On behalf of the Governors I would congratulate all our students on their results, achieved in the toughest of circumstances. Our students and the staff who have taught and supported them so wonderfully over the last five years should all be very proud of themselves.”
